History
Before the town was founded, the town was a road connection from Pontian to Johor Bahru, and much of today's town state was just rubber trees. Pekan Nanas was founded in 1927 by the Bugis, whose origins lie in South Sulawesi in modern-day Indonesia. It was subsequently named after the town's planned pineapple plantations. Throughout the 20th century, the settlement grew into Malaysia's largest pineapple plantation city.
